Andong chicken.  It's not the greatest picture, but it gives you an idea of how huge the plate was!

Our school has a week off for summer vacation so we decided to go to Andong.  It is a city where there are traditional style homes that are about 600 years old.  We took a train there and we had to transfer in Dong-degu.  So the screen on the train says "next stop Degu."  We got off the train and started looking for our next transfer.  We couldn't see it on any of the screens so we showed a worker our ticket and asked him what track we needed to be on.  He looked at our ticket and showed us that we were at Degu station, not Dong-degu.  At that time, we had about 15 minutes until our next train would leave at Dong-degu.  He told us to take a taxi and it would be about 10-15 minutes.  
He motioned us to follow him and we started sprinting through the station.  He took us outside to the taxi stop and told the taxi driver where to take us.  The driver looked at our tickets and kept laughing at us.  It was the kind of laugh that said, "Wow you kids are never going to make it.  You're crazy."  We were laughing with him because we couldn't believe we got off at the wrong station.  He showed us where the station was on his GPS.  We were stuck in traffic and thought we'd never make it.  We started making plans to just spend the night in Dong-degu and catch another train to Andong in the morning.  
The cab driver pulled up to the station at 1:57 and our train was going to leave at 1:58.  We flew through that station and found the right track.  Luckily, the train was delayed three minutes so we made it just in the nick of time.  Just barely.  
We made it to Andong and got a lot of maps and pamphlets from the tourist station.  We got a hotel and the next day we went to the folk village.  There is only one bus that goes to the village, and it only leaves every hour or so.  It was VERY packed.  But we got to the village and it was cool!  They let you stay in the old houses, but we decided not to because it didn't look like they were air conditioned.  And it was super hot. We had to keep sitting down in the shade.  I think we ate around 5 popsicles each for the couple hours we were there.  
We tried the Andong chicken.  I guess it's a big deal in that part of town.  I think you were supposed to share the meal with about 6 people though because it came out on a gigantic plate.  It was chicken, potatoes, vegetables, clear noodles, and a spicy sauce.  Pretty good!  
It's been awesome not having to go to work.  We've been working on decorating our apartment and it's actually starting to feel like a home now.  We got some picture frames and hung a couple pictures up.  And we got a little couch so we don't always have to sit on the bed.  The apartments here have a recycling area where people put their old furniture.  You can just take whatever you want.  It's kind of a cool idea because there's no way we'd be able to buy a couch here.  We don't know where to buy one and if we did, we'd have to take it home on the bus.
